Every1 is having these problems with APs. Im ordering shorter rear springs for mine soon. What size allen key did you use for the fronts??

My mate has some FK springs (which are shorter) for his vw fox. Any1 know if the fox rear springs are the same??

Yup still need to unlock the fronts and get them down another 10-15mm or so. Also on the hunt for shorter rear springs.

I know a lad who has some FK rears but are from a Fox so need to know if they will fit. He has some TT springs which he said fitted his fox but his car sat too low with them haha. If polo and fox rear springs are the same.... that means the the TT springs must be aswel, right??


g__humm post some pics up so we can see how its sitting.

I would say that's alright on the back, need to go more on the front though. Anymore on the back like that and you'll have a reverse rake stance going on.

Shorter springs is the only way to get the backs lower.

Is 1 side higher than the other at the back by any chance??

Normally sit lower on the drivers side, due to fuel tank
